i sometimes get annoyed by the "do you know so and so in such and such city". funny enough, i was in salt lake city for the ncaa bball tournament a couple years back and went to a mall. was talking to the cashier who asked if i new so and so in calgary and i actually did. big dilemma came up as to whether lie or tell her the truth and reinforce the thought that i knew random people in random canadian cities.
as for annoying tourists, i've met many "ugly americans" abroad but the french and germans have their fair share of ignorant tourists as well.
